We are weak -- we are weak because of our sin, but we are also weak simply because we are limited, dependent, finite creatures. This weakness reveals itself in our prayers, as well. Even if we pray without distraction, we "do not know what to pray for as we ought." But Paul encourages us that we have the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us in our prayers. And we can have confidence that the Holy Spirit's intercession is perfect because he has perfect knowledge.
